March Madness

One of the doctors that Toby works with gave us tickets to go and see the morning session of NCAA games. We went to the Marquette vs. Utah and Missouri vs. Cornell. Now, I am NOT A FAN of basketball (unless it's Gonzaga) but since Toby loves it, I was glad to go along for a family outing. Dallas did really good considering it was during his morning nap time. He would get nervous when everyone would yell, but then he would clap his hands once he realized it was okay. Cute little babe. We were there for most of the day and it was fun to spend time as a family.

Don't mind the super close up-this time I took it! We weren't allowed to use flash either-so it's a little dark.

Leap Frog Happiness!

Check out how happy this kid looks! Guess he needed some toys with noise. He loves to pull himself up and try and walk around this toy.

He makes this face all the time--what a funny kid!

Consignment Deals

Dallas and I went bright and early last Thursday morning the Moppet Togs Consignment sale and we did pretty good! IT WAS CRAZY with all these woman and their babes. I wish Toby would've been there to help me look for stuff. I had the stroller, so it was tough to look through clothes, but I did get some toys that I was looking for. Glad I went, and he loves the Leap Frog Learning Center.

Children's Consignment Sale!

found out about this from my sis-in-law......I'll be going tomorrow morning to see if I can get any good deals!!

Moppet Togs

This weekend you have the opportunity to SCORE amazing deals for your children's needs: Clothes, Shoes, Gear, Furniture, Toys, Decor- you name it! Moppet Togs is the Treasure Valley's Premier Children's Consignment Sale.

Moppet Togs sells HIGH QUALITY items- no stains or holes. Much higher quality then the local consignment shops. I couldn't even count the number of great Pack N Plays, Strollers, Cribs and other baby gear items that were there when I left! I suggest going to the sale twice, once on Thursday to get the first pick at all the things on your list and then again on Saturday when most items go half-off!

Crawling like a mad man

Oh what will it be like when he's walking!?!? He is a cruiser, and a fast one too. I'll put him down, turn around to do something and he's already gone. He sure loves to move and is dying to walk. He'll try to pull himself up an ANYTHING! We don't have much space for him to move in our tiny apartment, so I try to head to the park on a daily basis. That's a good thing for me.

He loves to play will all the toys and make such a big mess!

This is a favorite photo of mine. I will sometimes catch him lying on the floor looking at his books. He loves to read books with me and I cherish those moments. I hope he likes to read when he gets older! (side note--I got Toby to read a book.....a 345 page book!!!! He's starting to like them.....but he won't admit it.)

Last Wednesday, we headed to a basketball game for a going away party for a co-worker of Toby's. It was okay (not a basketball fan.....) and we saw some of our friends, Annie and Heidi so that was fun. Check out what Toby did-he took a photo of me and Dallas! See, I'm not the only one who takes the photos. I sometimes forget to hand the camera over.....better start doing that more often.

After dinner. He is playing with a toy that was mine when I was little. It's a Glow Bug. Remember those??

What's up with his reddish/orange nose?!?! I CAN'T get rid of it! I've cut out all red/orange foods from his diet and he still looks like a pale carrot. Plus, he's not sick anymore. I was hoping it would go away after he got better. Now, I'm getting annoyed. Any suggestions!??!?!

Dallas is crawling!

We finally got video of Dallas crawling. He is super fast and will go anywhere! He loves to go to places he's not allowed--silly boy.

quick hi

We've been busy spring cleaning--and I mean cleaning! I am so sick of being sick, so I have been cleaning every crook and cranny of my house.

The weather has suckethed big time. SNOW!!! Go away....I am waiting impatiently for spring.

Dallas is now crawling and getting into EVERYTHING. I turn my back for two seconds and he's crawling off somewhere. He loves the outlets. We bought those cover things but he still goes after them.

I'll be posting a video of him crawling soon. My sisters and mom have been dying to see him. So check back Megs! I'll post one this week.

offended

The Offended:Notice his sick little eyes and nose.....we're STILL fighting a cold. I just got a new one today....can't seem to beat this!

The Offender:

I usually make my own baby food, but I do have these as back ups for days I don't have any made. Apparently he doesn't like Macaroni & Beef with Vegetables.....who knew?

This made it all better:

He does like this kind! Note to self: buy more Ham, Pineapple & Rice....just to please the boy.

How mean of mommy to feed me something I don't like!

Puke and Pizza

I HATE PUKE!

We went out to dinner with some friends on Saturday night and had a great time.....until I was holding Dallas and he decided to puke all over my shirt. Yes, I may be a mother--but that doesn't mean that I can handle bodily fluids. This is why I am not a nurse. I about died. The smell was so nasty and I thought I was going to throw up too! That ended our fun evening out.

Still it was a fun night out on the town. We went to Old Chicago Pizza with Jothan, Renee, Heather and Brandon. Heather and Brandon tie the knot on the 21st and we're so happy for them and are excited for the wedding. I was able to take their engagement photos and Heather posted a bunch to see on her blog. As you can see, Dallas is still sick with his red nose. He hates it when we take the nose-sucker-upper and get his snot out. Oh well, he is still happy.

Classic photo of us. Glad Toby has long arms and that the photo is in focus! It was a great night out on the town. Just what I needed!

Happy Sunday. Love this video from the Relief Society. Such a good reminder of what we, as women are capable of doing!
